‘C’mon Rowan. I’ll read you a story if you stop mistreating the xylophone!’

‘Once upon a time, in a country far, faaar away…’

Taïga takes art lessons twice a week with a local artist – Signore Da Vinci. To prepare for St Sims…

‘Ahem.’ Cipriana tries again. ‘Ahem…’

‘Hey! I didn’t see you coming!’

‘You didn’t hear us either!’

‘Goopy and I’d like you to meet our friends, and we thought…’

Goopy interrupts her. ‘Si, si! Una festa domani! A party at the pool tomorrow… will you come?’

‘Sure! But I have to ask my mom first!’

The di Grisogno mansion is situated high up in the rolling hills and Taïga loves to ride her bike downhill to the beach or the swimming pool. Today she will meet Cipriana and Goopy at the pool, for the party with all their friends. She’s excited, and a little nervous. What if they only speak Italian? I understand more now than in the beginning of the holidays, but still…

She didn’t have to worry. Cipriana and Goopy’s friends all learn English at school, and Laura Perry has spent her vacation at her grandparent’s in Sunset Valley, so her English is fluent.

She makes Taïga laugh when she fills her in on everybody who’s attending the party.

There has never been so many children at the posh Monte Vista pool. Everybody wants to talk and play with Taïga. Goopy keeps the boys at bay by telling everybody she’s his girlfriend. ‘… siccome sono il suo ragazzo.’

‘Davvero?’

‘Si si!’

Suddenly there’s a fat girl aiming straight for Taïga, making the other girls withdraw.

‘Eccola que viene!’

‘Tanto peggio! Too bad!’

‘Goopy è mio! Non toccare! Capisce? Non toccare!’

Taïga doesn’t understand every word, but she gets the hint. ‘But I haven’t touched Goopy…’

haha Aliens , I don’t know if they aducted children in this game but I know they are upset very very easily. You expose a big meteor rock in your garden, they abduct you. You see too much stars with a telescope they abduct you, You created the Fruit Défendu you are also abducted etc etc. But they are quite chatty when you can speak to them and benevolant one are friendly. Maybe Taïga will be friend with one of them? An alien child?

I also thought of the same reading this chapter. I got Miss V abducted for a stupid reason in reality of the gameplay so they are able to everything , except the Corvii who are extremely positive. When aliens are benevolant and never use their powers in public everybody is attracted to them .
The other Alien household we never know !
